This can become a very big platform for designers and smaller agencies. I have been struggling with coding for the last years and still don’t know how to do it right. I feel like back at school in French class when I read through. I do sometimes gain a litte victory, but overall it is more depressing than anything else.

So, with PageCloud there comes a high potential that this can change. This web-based browser platform transforms your custom designs in real-time into full functional websides. No coding necessary. There has been similar platforms out and many still exists but this platform comes with incredibles features, which as not been done before.

Here are just some powerful tools:

Straight from Photoshop to the Web

Drag and Drop. Actually, though.

Turn your browser into a blank canvas.

Technology that fades away so your content takes the spotlight

The fastest, simplest solution for mobile site creation

The scary thing is, that you can even copy an existing webpage, i.e. Apple site, and paste it into your blank canvas and start editing it from there. Delete elements, ad elements.

PageCloud will come as a platform and be constantly developed further. App stores for plug-ins, templates for sides can only become some of the protential features.

If this all comes real and people – in particular designers – will use the platform, than I don’t doubt that PageCloud has the power to become the next big thing.

It can be the helpful tool a lot of designers I know are looking for. To work independent from programmers and developers. Will it kill my job? Some people might think so. They argue that designs will become standardized and even people with less design skills will get the chance to do better jobs. Competition will rise. Maybe yes, maybe now. This is a new tool and still at the beginning and under construction. I’m sure creatives in the 80’s said the same when Photoshop came out. Computers took over standard processes and changed the industry a lot. This is just a new playing field where design-, art- & conceptional skills are still that important than before. And don’t forget, PageCloud is a supporting tool for code and functionalities, but it doesn’t come with a “Button” for “Creativity”!

This video from earlier this year shows Yves Rossy & Vince Reffet at their flight above Dubai. A test flight and maybe the springboard for a impressive commercial, where the both Jetmans join forces with Emirates and a A380. This extraordinary formation flight is not only impressive to watch, it deserved also very detailed planning. This video showcases just how far aviation has come. A simple one-page landing page gives more information and the chance to ask questions. The clip creates awareness by the amazing pictures captured and the fact that those two men with their engines look so small compare to the massive A380. But it doesn’t take it any further.

Powered-By-Passion becomes a much bigger meaning by following cave digging artist Ra Paulette into his world. This man spend the last 25 years shaping different caves in absolut perfection – just for the peacefulness and his personal passion. After becoming seen as an artist, he started to take client projects for 12 $ an hour. He does not want to do it for the money. The reward for his work is not in money, he finds his passion and happiness in carving those caves. Amazing work he did with just one purpose in his mind – be happy with what he does.

Phone drone let you control your phone over a second device (iphone or iPad) or by using the Apple watch. This is a great Kickstarter project, which is already more than funded. With a 100.000 $ goal on Kickstarter and already 265.000 $ earned and 21 days left, this gadget has great potential to land in your hands as you wish.

Here are only some of the powerful features:

Easy to use – No drone experience necessary.

Affordable -Your smartphone already has a powerful processor and multiple sensors. Why pay for all those things over again when buying a drone?

Familiar – Our companion app is simple and intuitive.

Packable– Pack PhoneDrone Ethos for next adventure. It will be ready at a moment’s notice.

Compatible with all your devices – iOS, Android, and even Apple Watch!

Control and video streaming -Easily tether to another mobile device for control and video streaming.

Built in charger – Charge from any USB source – or swap batteries for extended flight times.

A camera mirror – Shoot straight down, forward, or to the side!

With an Apple device compatibility of 4-6s the drone is made for a wide range of customers. With around 230 $ it is quite affordable. Keeping the small dimensions and weight in mind it is really good for traveling. With a flight time of 15-20min it is not much under the known standards. Would be interesting to see how it’s working in windy or less sunny conditions. If it’s stable enough or does it shake a lot. I believe it’s fine for it’s handy use but if you want to capture more professional and stable material, a bigger and stronger drone like DJI Phantom or 3dRobotics Solo is a must have. If you are still interested wait until September 2016, thats the delivery date for Germany. If you are interested take a look at Kickstarter for the Phone Drone

Face recognition is almost standard for todays digital smartphones or cameras. Scientists from Germany and America developed in collaboration a new software, which does real-time expression transfer of moving faces. It sounds like a normal next step but if you see how brillant it works it reminds a lot of those future Schwarzenegger movies from the late 80’s or early 90’s. As long your mobile or desktop camera does not support 3D, it won’t work. But that is just a matter of time. Camera’s like the motion sensing input device by Microsoft for Xbox 360 would be the right device to use.

I found this earlier this week and have to share it here. This open letter by Manuel Weber gives a statement over Facebook, what he thinks about critical voices regarding refugees in Germany. With 16000 shares on FB and many comments he received mostly positive feedback. I think it’s great and totally right what he says. Please take your time and read – think about it.

High-tech clothing leads the next generation of wearables. If you thought that 3D glasses, like the Samsung VR, or Apple watches are big, watch the video above about biomaterials made from living cells.

Initiated from MIT Media Lab, BioLogic is our attempt to program living organism and invent responsive and transformable interfaces of the future. Nature has engineered its own actuators, as well as the efficient material composition, geometry and structure to utilize its actuators and achieve functional transformation. Based on the natural phenomenon of hygromorphic transformation, we introduce a specific type of living cells as nanoactuators that react to body temperature and humidity change. The living nanoactuator can be controlled by electrical signal and communicate with the virtual world as well. A digital printing system and design simulation software are developed to assist the design of transformation structure.

What are the ingredients for a perfect week at the beautiful island of Mallorca?
First of all, the right company. Second, a classic vehicle – VW Camper T2. Third, stunning beaches and solid rocks for climbing. Fourth, a wedding of your best friend. With a one week holiday and the above mentioned ingredients, we traveled along the island, starting north of Alcudia. From the north we found our way south escaping here and there in some rock walls, inland and along the coast. After some days we entered the amazing villa around S’Horta, where the wedding took place.Quite a contrast to our hippie-life before but fully rewarded by the many old friends we met.

A special “Thank’s” goes out to Classic Car Hire Mallorca for the Van and the friendly service // rentaclassicmallorca.com

Even without being offered a $2 million deal to join for a job, I do understand Daniel Norris, the 21-year-old. The well-known pitcher of the Toronto Blue Jays is kind of a celebrity. To escape the pressures that come along with being a promising star, and to get prepared for the 162-games season, Daniel bought “Shaggy”, his VW Camper, for just $10,000 to find a more peaceful and satisfying lifestyle. He takes life on the move and travels with the flow. He believes this is for his needs the best way, as he needs kind of adventures in his life.

After two holiday’s in a classic T3 & T2 VW camper, I know the feeling of being free, self-determined and seeking out for adventures while traveling. Take a look at the video and try to understand or read more about it – Here.

Interesting article about the change of work through a next generation.

Lisa Evans writes,

Baby boomer managers can be credited with creating employee support programs. Generation X managers can be credited with making the workplace more informal, making the term “business casual” commonplace. What will the next breed of managers bring to the workplace?

Chip Espinoza has studied millennials in the workplace. The author of the recent book Millennials Who Manage and the 2010 book Managing the Millennials says this new generation of managers will take a step further in creating a people-first workplace. Generation X managers popularized the term work-life balance, but millennial managers are seeking a blend of work and life. “They don’t mind accessing their work life during their personal life, but they also want to access their personal life during work,” says Espinoza.

Learn to fly – the wonder from Cesena/Italy. What does it takes to get such big band like the “Foo Fighters” to come to your hometown to play a special concert? It takes one person with a big idea and another 1000 to believe in. It all started with a quick idea by Fabio Zaffagnini, the 39 year old Italian desperately wanted the Foo Fighters for a concert in Cesena/Italy. After working on the plan for more than a year, bringing 1000 musicians together to play “Learn to fly”, the dream became true. The event, “This is Rockin’1000”, and specially the video became such big success, that 26 Mio. clicks on Youtube could not get ignored by the band. After 3 months and before the official start of their European Tour, the band played in Cesena/Italy the opening concert of the tour.

Winter starts here. With more than 66 years of experience and more than 750 known and well-known ski- & snowboard movies, Warren Miller launches his latest ski movie “CHASING SHADOWS”.

CHASING SHADOWS shows the world’s best riders—as the name of the film promises—chasing their own shadows in high-speed downhill exhilaration.
